If you read my blog regularly you know I'm really fond of William Street and Fleming Street. Well, the house at 730 Fleming Street CLICK HERE sits at the axis of both streets. So it enjoys a really great Old Town location just right for being close to everything. The front porch is also a great site to sit and watch the world go by. CLICK HERE to see a photo of the house from the 1970's. Hasn't changed. That's the beauty of old houses in Key West.

The property at 730 Fleming Street is currently listed for sale at the asking price of $1,050,000 or $500 per sq ft. The listing Realtor describes the property this way: "On the corner of Fleming and William Streets in the Heart of Old Town. Two homes totaling five bedrooms and three baths. The main house has four bedrooms and two baths, wood floors and walls, central a/c and a great room overlooking the beautiful gardens with room for a pool. The guest cottage has one bedroom and one bath plus a loft and its own private patio area. Off-street parking. Plans for renovation are available from one of Key West's award winning architects." There is a total of 2100 sq ft of living space on a 5112 (76' x 67') lot. You can't beat that location or the simple charm of this classic property.

I did a quick sampling of houses on Fleming Street and this house is the least expensive on a price per sq ft basis.

Gary Thomas in a Nutshell

I first read about Key West in a magazine called "After Dark" sometime in the mid 1970's. But it wasn't until March 1984 that I made my first visit to the island that would become my home.
I had two weeks for a vacation and reserved a room at Colours Guesthouse (now Marrero's Guest House) for one week. I thought that if I didn't like Key West, I could always go back to Miami or Ft. Lauderdale for the rest of my trip.
But after a couple of days in Key West, that was no longer a consideration. But when I wanted to extend my stay for the extra week I found there was no room at the inn. The guesthouse owner did find me a room at LaTeDa, the infamous guesthouse/restaurant. That's a story I'll write another day. But those two weeks in Key West gave me the realization that I had found Paradise.
Key West has been my home since 1993 and my only regret is that it took me so long to get here.
